notes:
This image is derived from Joseph François Lafitau, Moeurs des sauvages ameriquains, vol. 2, plate 9. The image of Peruvian boats are, in turn, derived from Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 9, plate 2. Compiled and translated from several sources by Johann Friedrich Schröter, with a preface by Siegmund Jakob Baumgarten. Schröter was secretary to the Privy Council of Magdeburg and had served for some years as a missionary in Canada.
